Good value near the Ottawa airport.
Pros:

The room met my expectations and needs as lower-cost option close to the airport. The free airport shuttle was much appreciated. The premises seemed well maintained, the staff were helpful, and the bed was comfortable. No concerns.

Cons:

It fully met my needs as a staging post after arriving in Ottawa by air, and for leaving Ottawa on an early morning flight. Its location is a bit out of the way, but that was irrelevant for me this time.

Good value for budget-minded Ottawa air travelers.
Pros:

Reasonably-priced option not far from the airport, with an airport shuttle service. Its location is a bit out of the way, but that was not a concern for me. The room met expectations - it was clean and comfortable, and quiet. The staff were helpful. Located beside the Rideau River on a spacious lot - quite an attractive setting.

Cons:

I should not complain about the breakfast - after all, it was free (unlike in other Ottawa airport-area hotels). There was also lots of variety. However, the quality of much of the food and its freshness left very much to be desired. The baked goods were mostly dry and stale, for example. Fortunately, there was some fresh fruit on offer, and the coffee was OK.
